“Riced potatoes” are one example. Mashed (riced) to look like rice, sometimes with added herbs and spices.
But potatoes mashed with a splash of whole cream/milk, some butter and salt is a wonderful experience if nothing else. Plain potatoes mashed with a fork only? I’ll pass…
You should do more cooking.
Mashed potatoes do have other ingredients besides potatoes. Like butter, milk, nutmeg, other stuff depending on local customs…
Mashed patatoes made purely out of squashed potatoes are not something you would enjoy.

Plenty of people eat them like that all around the world. Never heard of anyone adding milk to potatoes.
